Kobe Bryant

Ok, sure LeBron and Kobe are the 2 best players on the planet, but why this rivalry all of a sudden?  Yes, it's good promotion for the league, however, the 2 have never played really meaningful g

Say it isn’t so! After years of feuding (although he has denied it!) Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O’ Neal seems to be mellowing and has entertained chances of going back to the Lakers in 2010. Shaq and Kobe together again? Highly unlikely.

s bandwagon.  Not to be a diehard fan but to root for them in this NBA Finals.  I figured Kobe Bryant was ready to take that final step in becoming an all-time great and win his first Shaq-less title.  Now, four games into the NBA Finals, with the Lakers down 3-1 after blowing a 24 point lead in game 4, I am ready to end this Kobe talk until further notice.  And that could be never again.
